Inside Grace Coddington’s Memoir

GRACE CODDINGTON launches her long-awaited book, Grace: A Memoir, on Thursday - but, in the meantime, we have an exclusive preview to show you - featuring photographs taken from the US Vogue creative director's childhood, her most memorable photoshoots and original illustrations and cartoons.

Discover the moment that Anna Wintour made Coddington so happy she felt like doing a cartwheel; which iconic photographer she had a crush on; who interrupted her secret kiss with Mick Jagger; and what she thought when she first met the "idiosyncratically handsome" Karl Lagerfeld and his then-boyfriend. The book will surely go down in history as one of the industry's most-read tales, detailing - with refreshing honesty - the model-turned-editor's meteoric rise to the pinnacle of the fashion world.
